A Long-Term Care Insurance policy may pay most of the costs for your care in a nursing home. Many policies also pay for care at home or other community settings.Since policies can vary in coverage, you should read this policy thoroughly and makesure you understand what it covers before you purchase.

• You should not purchase this policy unless you can afford to pay the premiumsevery year. Remember that the company may increase premiums in the future.

• The personal worksheet includes questions designed to help you and thecompany determine whether this policy is suitable for your needs.

Medicare is not designed to pay for long-term care.

Medi-Cal will generally pay for long-term care services if you have very little income and few assets. If you are now eligible for Medi-Cal, you should not purchase this policy.

• Many people become eligible for Medi-Cal after they have exhausted theirown financial resources paying for long-term care services.

• When Medi-Cal pays your spouse’s nursing home bills, you are allowedto keep your house and furniture, a living allowance, and some of yourjoint assets.

• Your choice of long-term care services may be limited if you are receivingMedi-Cal. To learn more about Medi-Cal, contact your local or stateMedi-Cal agency.

Make sure the insurance company or agent gives you a copy of a book called the “Taking Care of Tomorrow A Consumer’s Guide to Long Term Care.” Read it care-fully. If you have decided to apply for Long-Term Care Insurance, you have the rightto return the policy within 30 days and receive a full refund of any premium you hadpaid if you are dissatisfied for any reason or choose not to purchase the policy.

Free counseling and additional information about Long-Term Care Insurance is available through California’s state insurance counseling program. Contact your CA Insurance Department or Department on Aging for more information about the senior health insurance counseling program in your state.

From my Income From my Savings/Investments Family members

The national average annual cost of nursing facility care in 2005 was $64,240, but this figure varies across the country. In ten years the national average annual cost would be about $104,640 if costs increase 5% annually.1

NOTICE TO APPLICANT REGARDING REPLACEMENT OFACCIDENT AND SICKNESS OR LONG-TERM CARE (LTC)INSURANCE. SAVE THIS NOTICE! IT MAY BE IMPORTANTTO YOU IN THE FUTURE. According to your application, you intendto lapse or otherwise terminate existing accident and sickness insurance orLong-Term Care Insurance coverage and replace it with an individualLong-Term Care Insurance policy issued by Metropolitan Life InsuranceCompany. Your new policy provides thirty (30) days within which youmay decide, without cost, whether you desire to keep the policy. For yourown information and protection, you should be aware of and seriously con-sider certain factors which may affect the insurance protection available toyou under the new policy. You should review this new coverage carefully,comparing it with all accident and sickness or Long-Term Care Insurancecoverage you now have, and terminate your present policy only if, after dueconsideration, you find that purchase of this Long-Term Care Insurancecoverage is a wise decision.STATEMENT TO APPLICANT BY AGENT: (Use additional sheetsas necessary.) I have reviewed your current medical, health, and LTCinsurance coverage. I believe the replacement of insurance involved in thistransaction materially improves your position. My conclusion has takeninto account the following considerations, which I call to your attention:1. The policy has no exclusion for pre-existing conditions. This means

that health conditions which you may presently have are fully andimmediately covered under the new policy, if such policy is issued.

2. In many states, state law provides that your replacement policy may notcontain new pre-existing conditions or probationary periods. The pol-icy you are applying for has no such pre-existing conditions orprobationary periods.

3. Since you are planning to replace medical, health, or LTC insurancecoverage, you may wish to secure the advice of your present insurer orits agent regarding the proposed replacement of your present coverage.This is not only your right, but it is also in your best interest to makesure you understand all the relevant factors involved in replacing yourpresent coverage.
